I do not dislike Emily I just don't like how she threated Lorelai but without her the show would'nt have been the same.she definitely brings somthing to the show.there's some really great scenes between Emily and Lorelai too.

Stuffy, self-centered, and elitist. Yet, that one of the traits that people either love or hate. She's a character I like to watch.

Yet, what I don't like about her is how she wants to control things, how ignorant she is about the working class or people who are not in her social standing. She's also very selfish when it comes to what Lorelai wants. She wanted her to be with Christopher instead of Luke. Yet, she did see the marriage very closely and voila, a disaster.

Emily Gilmore in Virtual Season 8 is still the stuffy, self-centered snob. Yet, she's grown up a bit more. She accepts Luke and his opinions. She has an appreciation for what Lorelai does. Yet, she and Lorelai still but heads when it comes to the inn and in the Thanksgiving episode, goes nuts on Lorelai about Rory's absence is and how she fawned over April and Doula. Of course, any Gilmore Thanksgiving isn't without drama.

What's really weird about Emily is that she never learns no matter how many years shall pass. She takes the same steps handling things and makes the same exact mistakes. Kind of making me want to say "WOW!" Somewhere in the middle she realized how bad and controlling she was with Lorelai. She showed some signs of regret but then she goes and does the same with Rory when she moved in with her. Lorelai is over thirty and she hasn't showed interest in what Emily thinks most of her life but still Emily thinks she knows what's best for Lorelai. I think Emily can't help being this way. She has the need to be a Control-Freak or she'll lose it. I don't think it has something to do with Lorelai's happiness more than her need to feel that she was the power behind that happiness. That she was part of it, the biggest part of it.
